Covers On

I think it is time to play catch-up on grooming the dogs starting tomorrow. I do not think Nathan is going to help me. LOL I have just been doing visitors and well mine can stand to be caught up on. I have only me to blame if it takes a bit of time. I get them all washed before delivery to buy myself some days. I may shave Misty down if she keeps playing like she does as she plays hard and tears up her hair. With no dog shows, why not. It will grow.

Here is the gallery.

The pool cover went on and the fun began. Ellie and Nami was not sure of it but eventually went on. Hallie embraced it like it was a welcomed new world. You never know. But all the dogs are loving the extra play area.

Harlow thinks everyone is in the pool as she runs around barking at the craziness. It's a riot!

The weather - the cover - it all spells fun for humans and the dogs!

Happy 6th Birthday

From: Christine: 

Clarity and I just want to say hi on this special day of hers.  I can’t believe she is turning 6!  

From us: Happy birthday Clarity, Maddie, Tosca, Charlie, Rocco and Reggie

How did 6 years happen?

From Rocco's parents:

Dear Nathan and Darlah,

Rocco’s 6th birthday is today!  Everyday we love him more and more.  He is the centre of it all and has been such a joy specifically through these uncertain times.

We hope you are doing well, and on this weekend of thanksgiving, wanted to thank you for bringing such a wonderful creature as Rocco, and others like him, into this world.

Best wishes from the three of us,

Rocco, Michael and Cecily

Thanksgiving Weekend

Dogs are having fun. They ate most of our leftovers added into their meals. I love turkey leftovers but as long as we were whelping they too needed something extra special. I so look forward to sleeping with the dogs tonight.

Here is the gallery.

Ms Bria departed tonight. Thank you for the strawberry/raspberry pie. Never had that combo. We will cook it tomorrow.

Short blog but Happy Holiday weekend. I hope it is enjoyable or you manage to make some of it enjoyable.

Ms Murphy likes Nami very much. We manage to get a few photos of her playing with her.

Now I need to start doing cleanup before Dennis wakes up. the day just went by so fast - maybe good.

2 Updates Today

Bella is here for play and a bath and haircut. Logan and Panda also depart tonight. Bella departs tonight. Frannie, Bria, Harlow and Tenshi are visiting. Everyone is having a grand time but it is raining now so only indoors. It was a wonderfully warm day.

Let's see if the pool get closed next week.

It's a relatively quiet holiday weekend. Sounds like it may be that way for all of 2020 and part of 2021. Let's hope its a short one.

Cinnamon kept me up last night and Nathan thinks she is progressing but I am not sure. She is due in a few days and that's okay with me. We need recovery around here. Let's see if we get it.

Be sure to see the birthday celebrations below. 1 years old - wow and Cinnamon send lots of love to you!

Happy 1st

Happy Birthday to our precious Mandy 💖

We love you so much 💕

You are my sunshine ☀️ 

Mandy wishes Happy Birthday to her sisters Ellie, Hallie, Nava and Otto and to her brothers Finn and Marli 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂

Sending her 💗to her mommy Cinnamon and her daddy Stone 

Big hugs and kisses to you both Nathan and Darlah... and Denis ❤️Ellie says Happy 1st to all her siblings!!

5 Years Old: 2 Updates Today

Instead of a traditional birthday pic, mommy thought you might like to see how much I like getting my teeth brushed ❤️

Happy birthday also to the siblings which includes Mickey, Alvin and Stone.

Not Much Today

It's a no gallery day as Sage is whining and digging. Glad I rescheduled all grooming as she is taking up much of my focus.

The photo above is Spirit as a puppy. She's actually got darker as time went on.

We have Harlow, Tenshi and Brie with us today. Brewer is a day visitor. It's a truly fun house but Nathan is napping. I need one as I was up all last night and Dennis is playing with the dogs but I told him not to worry about taking photos as I probably won't be able to make a gallery. :-)

Till tomorrow!

A Busy Wet Day

Pigtail mess after just a short time of brushing out the Sage. I laugh as that is what makes them mighty interesting.

Here is today's gallery.

We got word that the pool is delayed in closing till next week. <sigh> So no running cover fun for a bit.

Today we have to move couches to get ready for Cinnamon, get a couch in from outside and throw a couch out. So, Dennis is telling me what I have to clean to get ready. Yes, I am laughing.

I am crazy grooming due to impending pups. It always happens.

This is a long weekend and all we have visiting is Tenshi. It's a quiet house.

Still hoping the next 2 deliveries start at 7am. :-) I am dreaming - I know.

Wet Wednesday

Is it wet or what? Teddy and Rusty are here. They are truly enjoying each other.

We are starting to take temps on Sage.

Here is today's gallery.

The cover is not on the pool yet but even with rain, it is relatively mild.I can tell the dogs that know are in waiting for the cover.

It is tv night with a VP debate thing going on so popcorn and a big old drink. Nathan is napping but he enjoys reading and seeing the snippets after.

Maybe I should take a nap too. :-)

What a Day and So

The dogs are always playing in the kitchen from the moment we get up till bed time off and on. They play outdoors or in the halls upstairs too doing the run game if the weather is not good.

Here is the gallery. Sage is the top photo and you can see her belly but I placed a gallery in Sage and Cinnamon's blog. Cinnamon is huge. Sage will have 4 pups.

The dogs had fun today. I made turkey today so they went yum - that means extra treats for us and it did. They kept smelling the air as the smell permeated the entire house. They all ate with gusto.

Nice to see them so looking forward to dinner.

I am feverishly grooming everyone's dogs before more pups arrive so I skipped mine today.

Crazy times...

Running and Play

Here is the gallery.

They run, they play, they have a grand time. They say this week the cover will go on and then the bouncing fun begins. It ought to be fun as some have not been on it. Time wil be telling. Will have to take a video of that.

It's the start of a busy week. Nathan stress test tomorrow then the next day results of all his tests.

Class tonight for Nathan. I will do tv time with the dogs. LOL

Harlow departed last night. No one singing for their breakfast

Thursday another xray for Cinnamon to get a better idea of how many. Sometime the end of the week for Sage. Then days after that Cinnamon.

Tomorrow we have to move couches inside and out, lawn furniture and all that stuff. We will leave two chairs and a table out. It is waterproof so it can stay out all winter, if desired.

Oh the season is changing and I already miss summer. Six more months till melt and warmth. But if we get snow, it means paths and fun snow shots and well lots of clothes. Not for the dogs as we do not do that. We used to but by the time I get the last dressed, the 1st is coming inside. I find they just stay out a shorter period and appreciate being able to have free movement.

We are cooking turkey tomorrow to tie us over. We love turkey and stuffing sandwiches with or without gravy. Nathan never gets a large turkey. He always says this is the biggest. But it is just the 3 of us. makes sense to do it early as moms and all have their own timing. We shall see.

Remember When

It's Treasure's birthday today!

Roxie and Spicy

 Abigail letting loose

Truffie in playThe late ShoshiThe late RisaMs Fiona

 Snow - it is a coming some day...

No photos today. Only some memories. It has been raining so no one clicked and I need to groom Harlow before she departs. I also have to get Sage's whelping box set up.

Happy Sunday!

Yesterday and Today

Here's a gallery from yesterday and today.

Dogs are having fun. It's a no rain day - hooray. I am over the next few days playing catch-up on groomings due to Spirit having her pup.

Did get everyone brushed out. It's the weekend - really. Have to buy food. We are out. Nathan says not on the weekend. Borsht was delish and Dennis ate all the cornbread. LOL

Pool may get closed next week. It's time. Then all the fun will begin with dogs running over the cover. I can't wait.

We had many running games today. As I type, Dennis is sleeping in the recliner. He is adjusting to night shift once again.

Pingo Update

Happy Fall! 

I hope the family and all the pups are doing well. So looking forward to the new pack to be born. Cannot wait to follow their little puppy journey on the blog. 

Had some pictures taken of Pingo and wanted to pass them along! :) I think he looks so much like his momma Stormy and acts as free spirited as her too. 

Feel free to post on the blog if you’d like. 

Hope your weekend is restful,

Tegan

--------------

We will return to our usual gallery of dogs etc tomorrow. I so hope you enjoy this pingo update as much as I do!

Visits and Amazing People

Leo and Pixie came to visit with their momma. It was great to see them. She really takes care of their hair - bravo! She shared some Borscht that she made - yum! Thank you, truly!

Here is the gallery.

Maui, Nami's brother was here and oh my gad are they are riot in their play. I will try to get a video or 2 up. Maui was a funny moving target on the grooming table.

Murphy came to visit. Tenshi and Murphy was in a tiny little crate together sleeping. We leave the doors off but some like their own space when they catch zzzs and some like the couch or chairs or beds. By the time I grabbed the camera, Tenshi decided she wanted the chair instead. Maybe it was too crowded. Harlow always grabs the back of the couch and Brewer loves the leather recliner. It must be cool to the touch.

It was good weather then rain. We had to have an electrician here as we had an issue so he was pushing cable through the walls. I am glad we have heat as it is getting cooler. Still have to clean and organize the garage so we can park inside. So much to do, so very little time.

We got a call this morning that we were supposed to be doing xrays today. Hmm thought tomorrow. So, Nathan did that on his day off.

It has been a day.

Rain and All

Tenshi_galIt wasn't so bad out this morning and after Opus departed, the sky opened up. It was so bad that the kitchen got wet but maybe another eaves trough repair? <sigh>

Tenshi paid a fair bit with Raven. You will see it in the gallery.

Here is the gallery.

At least its not too cool as our heater seems to be blowing out cold air. Got to love it. The g-ds up in wherever that is or whomever it is says you need a repair to make life interresting. They are too preoccupied with us.

I did wash the moms to be and did belly shots. You will have to look at their blogs.

As it was wet out there (thank you for pads) no one wanted to go out excepy guess who... Nami and Halle and we won't talk about the 3rd and they look like drowned rats. There is always someone who keeps you on your toes as they believe you lead a dull life. Rain all week - they say - cold air from registers - guess time to shut down. No need to blow that cold stuff around.

Now to lay on a couch, be blanketed by dogs and be in heaven!

Playing With Nathan

As it was Dennis' day off, Nathan had his hands full. I was grooming all day - longer than expected.

Here is Bailey playing with Nathan after she got groomed. She had a chance to play with the puppy, Opus today and with the Nami. She seems to enjoy all.

Here is a small gallery.

They say it's the last day of heat and it will rain and cool down starting tomorrow. For shame.

Harlow is a picky eater at home and here she sings for her dinner, gobbles is down like its her last meals - she can't wait for it.

We now have gals in heat - too young to breed and Leti - not being bred again. So, the boys are driving us crazy. Xrays this Friday for 3. Nathan's day off tomorrow.

A tall glass of gin and tonic and a debate for tonight. Let's see how that goes.

Dogs are truly enjoying each other.

Nice Day Again Wow

It's a no groom day other than Ellie and well Jeannie who needed hair out of her face but it was supposed to be a day off.

Nathan is off to class tonight. I am blogging. I have a very full day of grooming tomorrow - Wednesday a puppy - the last departs. Thursday Nathan is off and well Friday - shall I look?

Here is the gallery.

Dogs are REALLY REALLY enjoying this weather. They are relishing their time outside. Mem I am going to watch the Boys with Dennis before Nathan departs so short blog. But know the dogs are truly having fun!

Celebrate Warmth

Such a warm and magical day out there today. Tomatoes will not survive the cooler weather coming but maybe fried green tomatoes? Have to learn to be creative.

Here is the gallery.

Dogs were playing but not full steam running around the pool. We need our cover on. Do not have a date yet.

Harlow is still singing for her dinner. She truly does. I have to take a video of it. You can't make it fast enough. barney is truly enjoying the fun. He rather likes the girls. Who can blame him. The puppy Opus seems to try to engage him over and over. He doesn't seem to mind.

It was a great relaxing day for the dogs filled with play here and there.

Oh That Play

Lexi was not intimidated by Hallie in the least. Reality they were playing and having the time of their lives!

Here is the gallery.

We have more photos today as I was clicking. Nathan is playing recovery as he is now off the new meds the doctor gave him. Amazing what meds can do if they don't agree with you. I was worried about him. Although he is resting, he is much better. It is Dennis and I holding down the fort. Several dogs departed. Tomorrow Barney comes for the day. I am celebrating getting plants in. When we pulled down the vines, there is damage to the stucco and brick and in the basement area so bad that the foundation has to be repaired. Yikes!

The weather was amazing today and the dogs and I celebrated that pool or no pool. Sometime this coming week, I have to hunt out any holes in the garage and fill them. But unlike Dennis, I will use gloves and a mask and goggles. LOL I may put an xpen across the garage seeing we won't have pupies and place a few dogs out so they can get some noise conditioning. We shall see. I am alwaus looking for new things to expose them to.

We got back to our game - hide the treat and they said - what took you so long?

One of the families that went home with their puppy (Leo's - 1st born's family) brought us homemade dog cookies and I want to say the dogs LOVE them! I will have to ask for the recipe. The dogs thank you for them profusely!

Relish this weather. Rain coming all next week.
